Activities are focused on functional materials (metals or ceramics with protonic-anion and mixed conductivity) for fuel cells (SOFC), electrolysis cells (SOEC) and stacks. In addition to the formulation of new materials, a detailed study of the effects of composition, microstructure and degradation phenomena on performance is carried out on state-of-art materials.
The research aims at improving performance of devices by addressing degradation phenomena also through innovative cell designs.
